What's new
- Batch decode/encode overlap: 3-clip batch wall down 20.4% (92.5s → 73.7s). Finalize of clip N overlaps denoise of clip N+1.
- Warm-container OOM fix: first new-prompt request no longer dies at 93.7GB — text encoder streams layer-wise when VRAM is tight (LTX_EMB_STREAM_FREE_GB, identical embeddings).
- Reference-exact VAE decode: LTX_VAE_TILE_PX=0 disables tiling entirely (50-51dB vs tiled, latency-neutral).
- Performance research published: three findings write-ups in docs/ (SageAttention +5% slower under torch.compile, NVENC vs memory-snapshot containers, the text-encoder OOM benchmarks miss) + full measured record in references/.
- Re-measured performance table: 5s clip
23s warm ($0.02), 10s45s ($0.04). - Filed upstream: Lightricks/LTX-2#232 (per-component offload).
